monitor products D.V. boilers gas and oil

Doug_5

Monitor's oil boiler is one of a kind as far as I can tell. No other condensing boilers powered by oil on the market. Quiet, clean. You'd think you were running natural gas. If the btu's work for you, it would be my first choice in any dv oil application. Good Luck. P.S. very smart sales and tech people, too.

One problem with them.....


There is only one reason that most any other companys do not produce an oil-fired condensating boiler.....I seems to be impossible to make one that will have low maintinance, and a long life? The sulfuric acid produced by the low stack temp. will eat up about anything, including stainless steel. Monitor has not found a magic way around this either. They have just settled for a shorter life on their units, than a regular boiler, which is something a good boiler company will not do.

doug i was wondering what type of burner comes with them they don't seem to outline that also as steve posted with the low stack temp and acid formation are these units short lived as everyone knows we live in a disposalable world but if the unit lastes 10 years with your standard servicing at the level of eff. i believe that comsumers wouldn't mind i mean everybody leases a new car ever 3 years but why is it that something that sets quite and delivers comfort should never be replaced and last forever.i know down deep everybody cheap save a penny while blowing the wade on fuel i just wonder when high eff will be the standard and all will have to comply just for fuel ecom. and the sake of the planet or is it as usual they just feed us a little at time to keep the money rolling into stockholders and big busssness's pockets sorry for ranting off thanks for the input

I suspect the concerns you raised can be adequately answered by Monitor's Matt Connolly. He's an excellent saleperson. Hopefully, he'll see the thread.

The facts on the Monitor condensing oil unit

I was recently emailed regarding a post saying the Monitor FCX condensing oil unit was designed for a short life. WRONG! The unit has been in operation for over 15 years with no signs of premature heat exchanger failure. If you would look into the unit, you'll see how the condensing / non-condensing heat exchangers are seperated which explains how the unit works.
Sorry to be so blunt, but obviously the person making the statement has no idea or factual basis to make such an obviously ignorant claim. I have worked for Monitor for 4 years now (I got a job with them after installing an MZ in my home)and have been to the factory in Europe and met with the engineers.

One reason no one else has done is there is an international patent that is still in effect. Other manufacturers are trying ceramics for the condensing exchanger, but so far no prototype has emerged in the US. If you want to see how the FCX does what it does, go to www.mzboiler.com and click on products. If you would like to call me directly, my # is 610-758-9005.

Questions.

How do you keep the secondary HX from carboning?

What is the secondary HX constructed of and how does it resist the sulphur corrosion?

What flue temp do you need to actually get condensate from fuel oil and what do we do with the acidic waste? I may be wrong, but doesn't fuel oil condense around 105°? Hard to design a system around return water temps like that, isn't it?

A good oil fired boiler will aproach 90% AFUE. How much fuel can I expect to save if all of the other criteria are successfully met?
